Launching Fluent is Awkward #5

Closed dnwillia-work closed 2 years ago

dnwillia-work commented 2 years ago

Currently you start up Fluent, then manually start the server, then connect to it by telling the Python interface to read a server info file.

Let's consolidate this with PyMAPDL and add a launch_fluent command with similar/same arguments as APDL. Probably some new Fluent command line argument(s) are needed.

I'm also fine with changing how we launch MAPDL from PyMAPDL should we need a consistent method.

I tried it today, much better.
